19 Apr 2012 Evaluate

VA Tech Wabag, the Chennai-based multinational player in water and waste water management, bagged the contract of setting up Rs 1,000-crore plant for the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board, the public sector water utility. It has to operate and maintain the plant for seven years after contract completion, which represents revenue of about Rs 70 crore a year.

This plant will produce fresh water from sea water. On April 16 it has achieved an important milestone when a km-long, 1.6-metre pipeline was launched into the sea to take in over 300 million liters of sea water a day.

It is the largest desalination plant in India and the largest contract for the company. VA Tech Wabag is teaming up with IDE Technologies of Israel to set up the project funded by the Government of India. The facility is coming up about 50 km south Chennai on the East Coast Road. This is the second desalination plant to supply water to the city with the first in operation at Minjur to the North of Chennai as a private sector project on design-build-own-operate-transfer basis by IVRCL, Hyderabad.
